cat experts be honest

about how big would a maine coon/norwegian forest mix get (male)
and would it be really irresponsible to adopt one when living in a small studio, even with a cat wheel and regular outdoor walks on leash

maine coons/norwegian forest cats get very big, males bigger than females, so expect to have the biggest cat out of all the cats u know lol
i wouldn't get one cat, unless a cat has (behavioural) issues they should almost always be with another cat 
and a studio is definitely too small for two cats, so i'd recommend against it. if ur getting one cat anyways maayyybbe it's doable if u have a cat wheel and u take the cat on walks, but it's definitely not a great living situation for both of you - you will smell the litterbox a lot, the cat doesn't have a place to retreat to if he wants to, etc etc
 
IF you do it you will definitely have to look into vertical space for ur cat, so basically give up ur walls to become a cat playground 

but in general, cat wheels and walks aside, i would definitely say that it just doesn't give the cat the room they need. maybe ur cat doesn't like going on the cat wheel but still wants to run around (which happens a lot, if ur looking to buy a cat wheel def buy it second hand!) and then a studio just doesn't cut it : ( 
and i know i wouldn't trust myself on actually going on walks regularly enough to justify it, but that differs for everyone ofc

sorry i stalked u on gsm and also am spamming ur thread rn but 
i think getting a kitten with all the training ideas u have is smart BUT having a SINGLE kitten in a studio will be hell hell hell i think 
my cats were literal demonspawn as kittens and at least they had each other, they were still VERY demanding despite all the playing and running around they did together 
it will also i think have a big chance of resulting in a kitten who cannot be alone bc ur always in the same room, if u ever move to a bigger apartment/house i think ur kitty could get separation anxiety problems 

i would actively advise against a kitten in a studio apartment and actively advise against getting just one kitten unfortunately : ( of course ur free to do what u think is best but personally i don't think the space will be enough especially with a breed that large but lowk with all kitties

hi i live in a studio with a maine coon male and we make it work, but he did have much more room when he was a kitten, and i have a patio/catio for him so he can be outside.


Anyways, i wouldn't say the size of the cat in relation to the apartment makes much of a difference in this case, maines and norwegian forest cats get big, but not so that they require much more space and play compared to other cats (aside from getting a bigger litter box and sturdier cat shelves/cat tree etc). the rule of thumb is around 20 square meter per cat if i remember right, and you can add a lot to that by adding vertical spaces like Solar said.

i wouldnt go as far as to advice against it like solar, moreso not reccomend it unless u are prepared to put in a lot of effort into it, going on a leash requires training and some cats will never like it, same with a wheel, you'll likely be spending a lot of time just playing with the cat especially when its young, which as solar said runs the risk of separation anxiety (i have this issue with my cat). But that is more so in regards to getting a kitten specifically. Getting an adult cat or a senior cat is a really good option, ik a kitten is cute and fun but an adult cat youll know th personality when you get it .

also this is moreso my mildly educated opinion more than a certified devilcake vet tech post, i have a headache n cannot think or look thru my uni notes rn

tldr: space and company is an issue regardless of cat breed so ur gonna have to consider these questions regardless

also ever since i saw what issues my friends single cat developed due to being a single kitty i strongly recommend either getting an older cat that wants to be a sdingle cat or always getting a pair of kittens so that they can play and socialize each other

i do think definitely listen more to matteo than me bc im my opinion is based on what i read online n how my cats behave and matteo has a lot of actual knowledge about animals!!! 

i personally just really wouldn’t want a kitten in a studio for sure hhh so my personal recommendation is naurr but profesionally if the ‘rule’ is 20 square feet per cat u should b good maybe?? 
idk maybe my cats were just super intense kittens hhh
